Model RR 12 days 'o Christmas
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 7, 2003 8:42 PM
Hey guys!

Since Christmas is a-hallway-and-a-corner away, Here's a forum activity we can do. Everyone add a Model Train/Real Railroad verse in the form of the famous song "12 days of Christmas"

I start it off:

On the first day of Chrismas, my true love gave to me:
A N-Scale round a pine tree!



Forgive me if this has already been done...[:I]
